It's very cozy and the staff are super nice and personable! It's got amazing prices for quite a lot of food I tend to always have a few pieces of my rolls to go!! It's very fresh and very very tasty!!!“

“best sushi and cheap!!! will come again!!!“

“This was the BEST food I've had in years. I sat there and literally closed my eyes so I could savor the experience and feel ever morsel move through my body. We had the Richmond Roll and the Pink Lady. The vegetarian options are so delicious that I am going to go back over and over again just to try everything on the menu. I literally stopped my conversation because I was having such a spiritual experience with the food. I could not focus on anything other than enjoying it. The customer service was incredible. The staff was so friendly and kind. The presentation of the dishes is immaculate. I felt like I was getting a Michelin star quality meal.

Please go try this. It's so good and so worth the money. I am in awe. ?“

“Anytime we are in Pleasanthill area we try to eat at Jo’s Honda Sushi. We used to live in Pleasanthill and we would go there at least once a week. We love Honda and all his family ❤️“

“Absolutely love Hanabi! It's our favorite sushi spot, and it never disappoints. The quality of the fish is consistently fresh and delicious, and the presentation is always beautiful. The staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit feel special. Whether we're craving classic rolls or trying something new from their menu, Hanabi always hits the mark. Highly recommend for anyone looking for reliable, top-notch sushi. We'll definitely be back!“

“We had the chicken and beef bento boxes witch you can choose 2 sides. Both came with shrimp tempuras. The food taste good and
fair priced. Family own , friendly service and clean ambience.
I am especially impressed with their good sushi rice.“

“I recently visited this sushi restaurant and unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. I ordered a chicken teriyaki roll, but I got a chicken teriyaki plate. And despite clearly saying 'roll,' the worker rudely insisted that I needed to specify 'roll' next time. This made me feel unnecessarily pressured.

When I kindly asked for the roll to be remade, another worker quickly mentioned that the kitchen was closing soon. Shortly after, she returned with a plate trying to take the teriyaki off my plate saying the kitchen would make it for me, but at that point, the restaurant was about to close and I didn’t want to feel rushed.

Overall, I truly love this place I hope next time they don’t make me feel bad for not saying things “right”.“

“My favorite Sushi spot in Walnut Creek!!! It’s amazing here. I get the premium omakase and hand rolls every time. (Usually spicy tuna or salmon). The fish is super fresh and my favorite nigiri is the otoro of course.

They have some rolls there that are pretty good as well. The pacific roll is one of the ones we always get. But you can’t go wrong with all the others. Just pick the one with fish you like and it will taste so good.

Also the staff is so friendly and attentive. It’s worth it every time we go :)“

“Ozora has become my go-to place for sushi in the Walnut Creek area. While I usually stick to takeout (the dining room is often packed, which is a good sign), the quality and consistency of their rolls keep me coming back.

I almost always order the same rolls, and the Sora (pictured) is hands-down my favorite. It’s packed with tempura shrimp and crab inside, and topped with salmon, tuna, and yellowtail—perfectly balanced and beautifully prepared every time. Unlike some places that overload the crab or cut the pieces too large, Ozora nails the proportions and presentation consistently.

Their gyoza and miso soup are also solid sides that round out the meal nicely. I’ve ordered from here dozens of times, and the quality is always top-notch.

The staff is friendly, the service is efficient, and even though it’s busy, they handle takeout orders smoothly.

If you’re in the area and looking for reliable, high-quality sushi at a fair price, Ozora is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend—especially the Sora roll!“

“The sushi was really good“

“House of Sake in Walnut Creek is an absolute comfort spot with phenomenal quality sushi! Every dish we tried was a delightful experience. The Spicy Holly Roll stood out with its bold, smoky flavors and scrumptious layers—an absolute must-try. The Godzilla Roll was a petite masterpiece, with a beautifully crafted tempura shell that was perfectly crisp and evenly dispersed.

The Cherry Blossom Roll was another highlight, boasting a clean, fresh flavor and a stunning presentation that was almost too pretty to eat. We also enjoyed the Negihama Cut Roll (yellowtail and green onion) and the New Orleans Roll (spicy tuna cut roll)—both incredibly fresh and satisfying. The creative names for these simple yet perfectly executed rolls added a fun touch to the meal.

Every bite hit the spot, and the attention to detail in both flavor and presentation is second to none. Highly recommend House of Sake for anyone seeking exceptional sushi and a memorable dining experience!“

“un servicio al 100 100% recomendados mi compa el barbas y su esposa te dan un exelente servicio“

“经常更新季节性的鱼类…😋新鲜…主要的是老板很帅☺️…😜“

“Toyo is hands down our favorite sushi restaurant in the entire Bay Area. The sushi is always incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. Every roll is packed with high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the difference.
The service is fast, friendly, and consistent, they take great care of their customers. We come here all the time and it never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent sushi place. Restaurant is very well decorated inside. Staff was very friendly and attentive. They brought us miso soup as soon as we sat down. Tons of options included veggie rolls and non sushi options. Food came quickly and was fresh and very tasty. The prices were reasonable as well. Can't wait to return and try some other items.“

“Very fresh and would definitely recommend the Big Combo Appetizer (Shumai, Gyoza, Tempura & Yakitori) to go with your Meal. Very friendly people, satisfied with the Food and Service😋“

“Some of the best sushi in the East Bay, and one of the best sushi chefs, Jack san,“

“Loved this place, but removing a star because they took the teriyaki salmon option off the menu. Strange, because everyone loved it and it was often sold out! The raw fish is hit or miss. Bring back the teriyaki!

My roommates and I check doordash every week or so, just to see if they have Salmon Samba.“

“This is such an awesome little gem of a sushi restaurant. They have an amazing 10-piece sashimi deal for $19 And their ginger is quite possibly the best I've ever had. Next on my list to try at their restaurant is their salmon kama and hamachi kama.“

“Good food, great, friendly service. Going to a new restaurant with young kids can be a bit harrowing, you never k ow how kid friendly the atmosphere will be. The server could not have been nicer. Chicken Katsu was some of the crispiest I’ve had!“

“🍣Yo Sushi🍣

We stopped by Yo Sushi and ordered the Crazy Monkey and Vallejo rolls — and wow, these rolls were massive! Definitely a great value for the size. The flavors were solid and satisfying, especially the Crazy Monkey, which had a good mix of savory and creamy textures.

We did come in close to their closing time, so the rice wasn’t as fresh as we would’ve liked — a little dry — but the overall taste still held up. A bonus: they were really generous with the wasabi and ginger, which we always appreciate.

If you’re craving sushi in the area and don’t mind slightly late-day rice, this place delivers on flavor and portion size. We’ll definitely be back to try them during peak hours next time! 🍣“

“Freshest seafood with great service.“

“Finally decided to order from here. Checked out the reviews. Most were pretty dated. Settled on the titanic roll and spicy chicken ramen. The titanic roll was Amazing!! It was fresh, hot, big enough to split (I didn't). Flavor was on point. Don't really remember a crunchy component but I wouldnt hesitate to order it again.The spicy ramen on the other hand was extremely subpar. Great portion size for the price, but the broth was flavorless. The chicken was definitely dark meat. The veggies and ramen were overcooked. Chicken bouillon, salt and red pepper flakes were a must to achieve the flavor I was looking for.“

“The freshest sushi I’ve ever had in this area. Hands down. Will definitely be back!“

“Good food, good service and value for money!“

“This is our fourth time coming here and we're always so impressed with the delicious, fresh, creative,unique dishes that are beautifully presented. It's an unpretentious atmosphere and a great value as well. A true Berkeley institution!“

“I was looking for sushi, I decided to go here and I was fascinated, excellent service and they have a variety and very fresh. I recommend that you make a reservation. The tables are tight, I think it would not be comfortable for large groups. Obviously I will return ??

* I'm putting up photos of the dishes I tried.
** I forgot to take a photo of the grilled octopus but it is delicious.“

“We came in right around when I imagine the Sunday lunch rush had ended because for the moment we were the only two in the entire establishment. Things that stand out, the atmosphere is great. Being next to a busy intersection you'd expect a lot more road noise but it was relatively quiet inside. Great, and quick service.I can certainly see myself becoming a regular here because their chicken teriyaki is delicious. While the food was great my only gripe is parking. Good luck, and if you can park nearby it's worth the walk.

Parking: The lot behind the restaurant is private and belongs to the surrounding apartments. Street parking is very hit or miss. Parking across the street at the BevMo! and crossing seems to be the best strat for this location if your driving.“

“The best omakase around!!“

“Excellent sushi again and again. Highly recommend this restaurant. Great service and fresh fish every time.“

“very good salmon and gyoza. the sashimi were very fresh“

“Love the buffet around the sushi bar! Best place to sit!“

“This is a great sushi restaurant! I highly recommend this sushi spot, great sushi, great service and the atmosphere is amazing. Definitely one of the best sushi spots in the Concord area. Try this place out! You won't be disappointed. 👍“

“A good selection of Thai and Sushi and prices are reasonable. Our server is very polite. I like the most was the Sushi especially the presentation. Definitely, I’ll recommend to our friends and we’ll come back for sure.“

“Customer friendly & quick service. Food is great.😋“

“Fantastic! Can’t wait to go back!“

“It was just me when I went in, very polite server, I had just gotten back from a strenuous hike and was looking to eat good food. The food was delicious if I ever hiked up Mt. Diablo from bottom to peak again, I'll definitely come back here.“

“Kiki Sushi was one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in ages. My friend has Celiac’s Disease, so I called ahead to verify their food prep practices & allergens. They were super helpful over the phone, even though I forgot and called during dinner rush. Everything seemed great, and when we arrived they had already had notes for our table & vetted every single thing on the table to ensure my friend was safely able to eat. Not only was the food safe and prepared fully gluten-free, but it may have been the best sushi I’ve ever had. And I LOVE sushi!! We also had veggie tempura and it was wasn’t overly battered or greasy, which seems common every other place I’ve been. The waiter was amazing, our drinks stayed full throughout the meal with the help of another gal on the floor, and we thoroughly enjoyed every single moment of Kiki Sushi. Thank you for an amazing evening out!“

“Always very nice coming here. I come here almost everytime I visit the mall. The thought of mall sushi might not be everyone's cup of tea, but don't knock it till you try it. The sushi is great. Not too much rice and avacado/tempura/cucumber have always been very fresh. The hot mamacita roll is a favorite of mine as well as theavacado roll and cucumber roll.

It is fairly affordable and lovely service from the owners. They always say hello to you when you come in, and also bye and thank you when you leave. Always happy to support a small business.“

“Your friendly neighborhood sushi place. Japanese food with a solid American appeal.
I’m a frequent customer, maybe too frequent sometimes; as I’ve established myself as a loyal customer of Ina and her mom there. Just very cool people who provide great service and a positive vibe every time.

I always go for the “half and half plate”, ordering both sesame chicken (panko breaded with teriyaki sauce glaze) and the spicy chicken (breaded with spicy flakes). ITS SOOOOOOO DELICIOUS.

Matter of fact, I’m going back in Wednesday when they open again (closed on Tuesdays).

Parking: Sometimes limited parking can be challenging to find. However, there is a public lot down the block and across the street.“

“Sasa is a staple for us anytime we want great food, great atmosphere and great service. My husband and I have been going regularly for years and we have never had a disappointing meal, or service. Best sushi around! Staff is fantastic!“

“I’m not a big sushi person, but genuinely enjoyed this restaurant along with my family. It had a great selection of food items to choose from, really kind and welcoming staff, and the restaurant was spacious. The dragon and lion rolls were my favorite but odds are you’ll enjoy whatever items you choose.“

“This is one of the places that I've been supporting through COVID. The quality of food is always great, despite the supply chain issues. The bento box is the best deal, but I find the nuances, are more important - like the toasted rice in the green tea or the ogo seaweed.I recommend the spicy cucumbers, the tsukemono and the tataki nigiri.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp as opposed to stairs.“

“Absolutely,I recommend your restaurant, good good and friendly staff.“

“We love this place! The best of Thai and the best of Japanese! I have the salmon skin ham roll today and a Poké bowl. Both yummy. Services is friendly. Food is great.“

“This is my favorite sushi spot in Walnut Creek. The fish quality is good and I really like the rolls, specifically the golden bear, jalapeño jumper, and dynamite. The baked mussels are one of my favorite items here. The prices are fair and the food is offered for delivery on DoorDash which is very convenient for take out. Definitely give this place a try if you want some sushi in Walnut Creek.“

“it's always pretty good here. The prices are fair and I'm always up for a repeat“
